Even if you're not a big shrimp eater, popcorn shrimp is always a delicious addition to your meal. You can make it with a few simple steps.

Ingredients

2 eggs, slightly beaten

2 tablespoons of heavy cream

5 teaspoons essence

2 cups plain bread crumbs

1 pound small and peeled shrimp (100 count per pound)

6 cups vegetable oil (used to fry)

Lemon wedges for serving

Steps

Part 1

Creating the Mixture and Preparing to Fry

1

Take out a medium bowl. Bring together the first three ingredients and mix them well (use a whisk to mix them). Then, take out another bowl and place the bread crumbs in that bowl Incorporate the remainder of the Essence into the mixture and mix until well-combined.

2

Bring out a stockpot. The size should be 128 fluid ounces (which is equal to a gallon).

3

Pour vegetable oil into the stockpot for frying. Have your stockpot on a temperature of 360 °F (182 °C) prior to heating.

Part 2

Breading the Shrimp

1

Create a breading for the shrimp. Bring together approximately a quarter or third of them, and incorporate them into the batter made using the eggs.

Make sure that all shrimp have a breading.

2

Run any extra bread crumbs through a loose sieve. Make sure the bread crumbs go to another bowl (make sure the bowl is not dirty). This process should be completed a total of three times.

Part 3

Frying the Shrimp

1

Put your shrimp into your stockpot and allow them to cook in hot oil. Do this until they are golden brown, and stir them occasionally.

2

Once your shrimp are golden brown, get out a spoon that is slotted. Use the spoon to carefully take the shrimp out.

3

Transfer to the shrimp to a sheet pan that has paper on it. Allow them to cool for a few minutes, and then serve them. Enjoy your meal!
